Shep does a flower


Who said I couldn't do a flower? I confess...it was me. Portraits have always been my first love, but with retirement coming up quickly it's time to try new things. So I'm doing my first floral painting...and I'm really loving it.

Again, I really don't have a clue as to what type flower this is. Someone thought it might be a Begonia. If it is this painting will be known a "Ruby Begonia". If it isn't, I don't have a clue.

Next I glaze with green, maybe SAP Green, and finish the painting in time for the big show in Brenham.

  1. I love this painting - and I'm usually a portrait/figure-type person! What size is it? It is absolutely beautiful!

My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
